You can do it online, but hard copy is better. They will even send you the forums. Takes a few weeks to process and a few months to get a judgment. You can call them and request the forms they will also tell the process. It's pretty easy, but takes a lot of work.

Anyway to find out the big cases he has lost and who the opposing attorney was who kicked his ass. Contact them.

Id guess you are going to have a hard time finding an attorney who wants to step up for this type of cannibalism, but they are lawyers. Good luck.

This is easy to prove IMO. Pretty open/shut procedural was incorrectly followed. Its just the compensation numbers that will be the hard part.

I believe Mr. Holben has 30 or more years experience, if he or one of his associates are unable to handle it, he might be able to refer you to someone that can.
His initial consultation is free, might be worth a shot. Down to earth no bs guy.

If not, best of luck with it.

I wish you all the luck on this. It's one thing to get the BAR to act. Whole different scenario to get things reversed or get back lost money.
Go man Go.
:cool:

Tom, Best, Best and Krieger (BB&K) are the biggest law firm in Riverside with offices in Palm Springs, Orange County and all over Southern Cal. My dad and I used to handle their medical and disability insurance, but that was 15 years ago, and I don’t know anyone there anymore.

They have lots of attorneys and you could call and see if they do that kind of law work.....i don’t know if they do.

Hope you find someone who can help.

Any law from that self insures is not one I would want too do business with. Shows that they don't even know basic liability protections. 1st thing I check before I do business with any one is what thier insurance covers.

They will have insurance and a lot of it. I just thought maybe some would self insure if larger.

I'll be in BBK tomorrow morning for a networking group. I do business with a few of their partners on their transactional business side. I'll ask my contact who you can reach out to.

I just hired David W Duke. His office is in Temecula. He was referred by another Attorney. Finding one to sue another Attorney is not that easy. Phone 818-784 6899.

An attorney outside of Riverside County! I'd choose one from LA or Orange County.

It might be an issue though as lawyers are sleeze, now you have to find one that goes against all the other sleeze. Sounds easy, but it's like politicians...in the end, they all do what benefits them as a group.

You’ll have to update us on this.

The wife and I are trying to find a lawyer to help us sue my last family attorney. We fired the firm and asked for our retainer back. They require 2 weeks of inactivity before returning the retainer. They keep having internal status conferences that we are not a part of and billing me for the conferences. Every time they do a conference the two weeks starts over. This has been going on for several months now and my retainer is almost gone because of the status conference charges even though they did zero actual work on my case.

Lawyers are fucking scum.

I would recommend that whomever you select they take the case on contingency.

Believe it or not mine is not charging me for their time at this point. What do you think thats all about? Somebody fucked up is why.

There are some good resources listed here. Just start calling a few of them up and discussing with them.
